Calorie balance

Calorie balance

Simple difference between entered daily energy intake and expenditure.

Calculated result

-300 kcal

Positive: intake above estimated expenditure. Negative: below. This does not predict weight change.

Results are estimates or simple arithmetic, not medical or investment advice.

How it works

Compare reported energy intake with estimated energy expenditure. This tool does not predict weight or fat loss.

Method and limitations

Enter total daily food energy and estimated expenditure. A positive result means intake exceeds estimated expenditure.

Daily energy balance = calories consumed − calories expended (estimated).
